Irish General Practice Nurses Educational Association

The Irish General Practice Nurses Educational Association (IGPNEA) is a professional membership association of General Practice Nurses and was granted Charitable Tax Exemption (CHY 17932) in June 2008. The main objective of the association “is the advancement of education in general practice in Ireland by promoting and assisting nurses in further education programmes and to provide a forum for the dissemination of information on developments in the General Practice Nursing field which will promote the highest standards of care to benefit the community.”

Aside from the very much appreciated help from the National Council in hosting our first website, the IGPNEA has never received any grants or funding from the Department of Health. The growth and successful development of the IGPNEA can be solely attributed to the hard work of many dedicated General Practice Nurses who have given so generously of their own time over the years. The IGPNEA is also immensely grateful to the many generous sponsors of our branch meetings, Annual Educational Conference and some of our educational awards.
